Hello, I'm Yoshi!! I started my second career as a tour guide after retiring from the Japanese computer company I had worked for about 40 years. I was born in Asakusa and grew up in down town in Tokyo. I’m married with two daughters and three grandchildren, two girls and a boy.

“Fast-Paced, Fascinating Tokyo Tour with an Expert Guide”
We had an incredible private tour of Tokyo with our guide, Yoshi. From start to finish, he was fast, efficient, and exceptionally knowledgeable. Yoshi packed an impressive number of major sites into our day without it ever feeling rushed. His commentary was full of fascinating details that brought each location to life, offering cultural insights and historical context that we wouldn’t have gotten on our own. Thanks to Yoshi, we were able to see the best of Tokyo in a short amount of time while still feeling deeply connected to the places we visited. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a meaningful and well-organized introduction to the city!

“A professional guide with warm attitude”
When visiting a foreign country one needs a very professional guide. One that will give you the important historical and cultural information while walking around the sites. And Yoshi did exactly that but with a warm and friendly attitude. We enjoyed the trip very much.
